Depression...

Anyone else coping with this? Its very hard to deal with this when this is suppose to be one of the best times of your life. I was on anti-depression meds before I got pregnant. And it has been better but I'm worried about post partum depression.

yes ma'am. you can talk to your Dr because if you were on meds before, they have some that are ok during pregnancy. I opted against getting back on them, but am also very worried about ppd.. but I will cross that bridge if I come to it. I have a great support system, but sometimes I just need the extra boost. hang in there. xoxo

I just spent all day in bed, feeling so hopeless & sad, I couldn't even move or eat or even sleep. I have a long history w depression, but I want to enjoy this wonderful experience, not cry all day, feeling empty.

I am. I've been diagnosed with major depression, PTSD and Borderline personality disorder. I've been off medication for the past year, since before I started trying, but was on various and heavy medication before that for 4 years. It has been hard at times, but honestly, the joy of finally being pregnant often overshadows the depression, especially now that I've passed all the danger points and high risk times and the baby seems to be very healthy. I'm in therapy so that helps. My psychiatrist is well aware of the high risk for post partum depression, we will both be watching for it. I think the best thing to do is focus on the happy moments right now and just be alert for changes that happen after the baby comes and not shrug off changes in your mood but report them immediately to your doctor. Good luck with your delivery and continue to take good care of yourself!!!
